KURO LINK

Setting the PQLS function

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio
signal transfer control technology using the KURO LINK
function. It offers higher-quality audio playback by
controlling audio signals from the receiver to a PQLS
compatible player, etc. This enables removing jitter that
has a negative effect on the quality of the sound and is
generated upon transmission.
• On players compatible with PQLS Multi Surround,
PQLS works for all sources. Set the player's audio
output to Linear PCM.
• On players compatible with PQLS 2 ch Audio, PQLS
only works when playing CDs.
Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with
your player for more information.
This function is activated when KURO LINK is set to ON.

SETUP
1 Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode, then press PQLS to select PQLS setting.
The setting is displayed on the front panel display.
• PQLS AUTO – PQLS is enabled. A precision quartz
controller in this receiver eliminates distortion
caused by timing errors (jitter), giving you the best
possible digital-to-analog conversion when you use
the HDMI interface. This is valid as an HDMI function
for PQLS-compatible players.
• PQLS OFF – PQLS is disabled.

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you
must:
1 Put all components into standby mode.
2 Turn the power on for all components, with the
power for the flat panel TV being turned on last.
3 Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is
connected to this receiver, and see if video output from
connected components displays properly on the screen
or not.
4 Check whether the components connected to all
HDMI inputs are properly displayed.

amp mode.
These functions are set from the TV's menu screen. For
more information, refer to the operating instructions of
the KURO LINK-compatible TV.

Synchronized amp mode operations

When using the synchronized amp mode, the KURO
LINK-compatible component connected to the receiver
operates in sync as described below.
• The receiver's volume can be set and the sound can
be muted using the TV's remote control.
• When the TV's power is set to standby, the receiver's
power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for
a component connected to the receiver by HDMI
connection is selected or when watching the TV)
• The receiver's input switches automatically when the
KURO LINK-compatible component is played.
• The receiver's input switches automatically when the
TV's channel is switched.
• The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if
the receiver's input is switched to a component other
than one connected by HDMI.
The operations below can also be used on Pioneer KURO
LINK-compatible flat panel TVs.
• When the receiver's volume is adjusted or the sound
is muted, the volume status is displayed on the flat
panel TV's screen.
• When the OSD language is switched on the flat panel
TV, the receiver's language setting also switches
accordingly.

Canceling synchronized amp mode

receiver's power turns off if you were viewing an
HDMI input or a TV program on the TV.

synchronized amp mode is canceled when the
receiver's power is turned off. To turn the
synchronized amp mode back on, select the
synchronized amp mode using the TV's remote
control.
